Bridged Networking Support?
Hi all - I have 3 locations in my home that have multiple devices that don't have WiFi support, so I have to have to plug them in to a network. I'd like to set up a switch in each location and have each switch connected to device to share the wifi signal. Will Orbi be able to do this? It doesn't appear the Orbi Satellite has Ethernet ports.

The Orbi Satellite has four Ethernet ports but note the connection back to the Orbi router is over a dedicated Wi-Fi band. So all four Ethernet ports would be available for connecting devices to your LAN
The Orbi Router has one Ethernet port dedicated to the WAN/internet connection and three Ethernet ports for connecting other devices on your LAN
